In partnership with the Seattle Mariners, Children’s
Administration will hold its fifth annual “We Are Family” day event at Safeco
Field on Sunday, May 12. May features National Foster Care Month and Kinship Caregiver
Day. Spend a day at the ballpark celebrating the youth and families of foster care, kinship care and adoption, and the many social workers, agencies and community members that support them. Receive a FREE Seattle Mariners We Are Family Day T-shirt when purchasing tickets through this special online offer!
Thousands of caregivers, kids, and others involved with child welfare have attended this
event in past years. This year’s event is on Mother’s Day, which presents a
great opportunity to take mom and the whole family to the ballpark.
The game between the Mariners and the Oakland A's will begin
at 1:10 p.m. and will be preceded by a pre-game ceremony from 10-11 a.m. at the
Ellis Pavilion. The pavilion entrance is on First Avenue, the south side of
Safeco Field. Everyone who attends the pre-game ceremony will receive a raffle
ticket and an opportunity to win numerous items.
Discounted tickets for the game are available at two
different prices: $11 per ticket for a seat in the 300-level, and $25 per
ticket at the 100-level. Don’t miss the information tables on the 100 level
behind the bull pen – you will find numerous organizations providing foster
care recruitment materials and support information for caregivers.
